Bolivia Dominates EU-Latin American Summit

Bolivia’s recent decision to nationalize its natural gas sector — and a burgeoning rift with Brazil over the abrupt move — overshadowed a summit Friday that drew leaders from the
European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean.

..At the close of the summit, Morales said he would hold a “very important” meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Saturday morning — before EU talks with regional groupings such as Mercosur, the Andean Community, Central America and Caribbean nations.

“We can have differences; I don’t know President Lula’s version. If he said he’s indignant, that could be his government’s position,” Morales said. “We could also be indignant with companies that exploit our natural resources.”
